No. 11  | Mark Messier

사용자 삽입 이미지

Hockey's ultimate leader is the only player to captain two franchises
 (Oilers and Rangers) to Stanley Cup victories. (His jersey is retired in both cities.)
Messier ranks second on the all-time regular season scoring list with 1,887 points.

Runner-up : Isiah Thomas.

Worthy of consideration : Elvin Hayes, Yao Ming.

My Comment : 역시 NHL은 제가 잘 모르는 스포츠-_-;;;.
축구에서 11번도 10번 만큼이나 훌륭한 스트라이커가 많았다는 점에서 이 선정에는 반기를 듭니다.^^



No. 12 | Tom Brady

사용자 삽입 이미지

Tough call over Terry Bradshaw but Brady gets the top spot for winning in a tougher era.
He's 80-25 as a starter, 12-2 in the postseason and holds the NFL record
 for the most consecutive wins (10). Plus, well, Gisele.

Runner-up : Terry Bradshaw.

Worthy of consideration : Jim Kelly, Joe Namath, Ken Stabler, Roger Staubach, John Stockton.

My Comment : 비교적 최근의 선수군요. 톰 브래디. 아직도 선수생활중이던가요?


No. 13 | Wilt Chamberlain

사용자 삽입 이미지

The most dominating force in NBA history
 : The 7-footer averaged 30.1 points and 22.9 rebounds during his NBA career,
and his 100-point game against the Knicks on March 2, 1962 might stand the test of time.

Runner-up : Dan Marino.

Worthy of consideration : Steve Nash, Alex Rodriguez.


My Comment : 선수생활동안 평균 22.9 리바운드.
이런 기록을 지닌 선수에게 이의를 제기할 사람이 있을까요?
그나저나 메이저리그의 꽃미남 중 하나인 알렉스 로드리게스는
그의 절친한 친구 데릭 지터에 이어 선정에서 밀려버렸군요.



No. 14 | Pete Rose

사용자 삽입 이미지

Character aside, it's hard to argue with the production
 : Rose owns the major league record for most hits (4,256),
games played (3,562), and at bats (14,053).
He edges A.J. Foyt, probably the most brilliant race car driver this country
has ever produced, by a car length.

Runner-up : A.J. Foyt.

Worthy of consideration : Ernie Banks, Bob Cousy, Otto Graham, Don Hutson,
Oscar Robertson, Y.A. Tittle.

My Comment : 메이저리그 역사상 가장 많은 안타를 친 선수. 바로 피터 로즈입니다.
의심의 여지없이 14번 자리를 차지했군요.



No. 15 | Bart Starr

사용자 삽입 이미지

The great conductor of the Packers offense,
Starr won NFL Championships in 1961, 1962, 1965, 1966 and 1967,
and was named MVP of the first two Super Bowls.

Runner-up : Thurman Munson.

Worthy of consideration : Carmelo Anthony, Hal Greer, Earl Monroe.

My Comment : 처음에 사진속 그린베이 패커스 옷만 보고 브랫 파브인줄 알았습니다.
제가 잘 모르는 오래전의 풋볼 스타군요;;;


No. 16 |
Joe Montana

사용자 삽입 이미지

Joe Cool was at his best when the money was on the line.
He quarterbacked the Niners to four Super Bowl wins
and was named Super Bowl MVP on three occasions.
His cool and collected manner in the closing success of Super Bowl XXIII
remains the standard for all Super Bowl game-winning drives.

Runner-up : Brett Hull.

Worthy of consideration : George Blanda, Bobby Clarke, Len Dawson,
Marcel Dionne, Pat LaFontaine, Whitey Ford.

My Comment : 아! 드디어 나왔습니다. 저의 영웅.
중학교 시절 월요일 새벽마다 절 AFKN 앞으로 불러들였던 미지의 서양 선수.
바로 존 몬태나입니다.
이 선수덕분에 NFL을 알았고 샌프란시스코 포티나이너스를 좋아했죠.
몬태나가 투표에서 졌더라면 다시는 CNNSI를 안 봤을겁니다.ㅋㅋ



No. 17 | John Havlicek

사용자 삽입 이미지

One of the NBA's clutch performers, Hondo played on eight Celtic championship teams and is regarded as the best sixth-man in history.

Runner-up: Jari Kurri.

Worthy of consideration: Matt Kenseth, Dizzy Dean, Mark Grace.


No. 18 | Peyton Manning

사용자 삽입 이미지

When his career concludes sometime next decade,
Manning could end up holding every major NFL passing record.
He's thrown for 37,586 yards, which ranks No. 13 among all passers.
His Super Bowl win cemented his place among the game's elite.

Runner-up : Charlie Joiner.

Worthy of consideration : Dave Cowens, Denis Savard.

My Comment : 역시 비교적 근래의 선수군요. 페이든 매닝.
솔직히 경쟁자들이 만만했기에 선정된 것이 아닐까 싶네요.



No. 19  |
Johnny Unitas

Unitas was the first quarterback to throw for 40,000 yards
and was the quarterback on the NFL's All-Time team in 2000
as voted by the Pro Football Hall of Fame voters.

Runner-up : Steve Yzerman.

Worthy of consideration : Lance Alworth, Bob Feller, Joe Sakic.

My Comment : 역시 제가 잘 모르는 NFL의 오래전 스타 플레이어.


No. 20 |
Barry Sanders

사용자 삽입 이미지

An electrifying runner whose uncanny ability to cut back often made defenders
feel like Wile E. Coyote, Sanders was the first player to rush for 1,000 yards
in his first 10 seasons. He led the NFL in rushing four times.

Runner-up : Mike Schmidt.

Worthy of consideration : Lou Brock, Frank Robinson, Tony Stewart, Vladislav Tretiak.

My Comment : NFL의 대표적인 러닝백이죠.
지금까지의 선수들만 보셔도 대충 짐작이 되시겠지만
쿼터백은 대부분 백인. 그외 포지션은 흑인 선수들이 많죠.

11번부터 20번까지에는 NFL의 스타들이 대거 포진해있군요.
이러니 이번 선정이 미국 프로스포츠에만 특화되어있다는 비난에서 벗어나기 힘들죠;;;
